Family coexistence is never easy and often difficult situations are generated that can be repeated frequently, and if they are not solved they can end up breaking the family bond. In this article, we will explain the 8 fundamental keys for a healthy family coexistence, to learn to overcome the inevitable crises and to also enjoy altogether of the successes of each one.

These keys are given below

First of all, talk

Establish moments of conviviality

Respect privacy

Share tasks

Know how to ask for forgiveness

Celebrate successes together

Never lose respect

Avoid arguments

First of all, talk

The basis of all understanding is in communication, and problems that are not spoken, but are simply left there, unresolved, often accumulate and cause major conflicts later on.

If a family member has a problem, we should encourage them to share it, especially if it is a strictly family problem, to find solutions together.

But beware, that does not mean that we should not respect the emotions of each one when the problem is actually a private matter that wants to solve oneself.

Establish moments of conviviality

Sometimes the work schedules are complicated and make the moments in common difficult, but you have to always look for ways to find them. Not only at meal times, but also to do activities, watch a movie, listen to music, dance, exercise, etc.

Respect privacy

As important as looking for moments of coexistence knows how to respect the privacy of each member of the family. One of the issues that cause the most conflicts is that of not letting each person have their private space and their own way of doing things. Once some general guidelines are established, each one should have the freedom to do them in their own way. We must also respect that some have moments or days of more need for isolation.

Share tasks

Carrying a family involves many tasks that children can learn from very young. According to age and availability, but everyone should be able to collaborate in domestic tasks, without having to receive any reward or reward for it. Yes, you can find ways for the little ones in the house to be fun, so that they get used to not seeing it as a burden.

Know how to ask for forgiveness

How much it costs us to ask for forgiveness many times! Sometimes we know we have been wrong but asking for forgiveness is not easy, and yet it is essential for a healthy coexistence. The saying goes that to be wrong is human, but to rectify is wise, and although you have to overcome the pride, the truth is that the reward is a great joy on the part of the people involved. The one who asks for forgiveness, because it causes him satisfaction and takes away a burden from him, and the one who forgives, because he has the possibility of doing so.

Celebrate successes together

Every success of a family member, even for something unimportant, is a joy for everyone. We should not miss the opportunity to celebrate every little achievement. It is not necessary to prepare a party, but you can prepare a special meal, surprise with a detail, or simply share the joy together. The happiness of good times will also give the strength to cope better with the bad.

Never lose respect

Respect is fundamental in all families, especially the elderly and parents, but in fact, among all, there must be a respect. And respect is taught by example. You cannot ask for respect from the children if between the father and the mother is being continually lacking. Even if there is anger or arguments, disrespect should never be allowed.

Avoid arguments

Although problems always arise, it is one thing to talk to try to solve them and quite another to discuss. Of course, we no longer refer to shouting discussions, which are very harmful to coexistence. Discussions affect all family members, even younger children, although we sometimes think that they do not understand what is happening. If we notice that we are nervous we take a while until we notice that we relax, and then we face the problem. Things never look so terrible the next day.
